Colorectal cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the EU. Various randomised studies have shown a survival benefit with chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting. Adjuvant chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid (5FU/FA) for 6 months after curatively resected node-positive colon cancer has become the standard practice. However, controversy still exists regarding the optimal regimen and whether to treat node-negative patients. The latest QUASAR trial results seem to strengthen the…
